Clipboard.Empty property

Checks if the clipboard has content

Syntax:

Property Get Empty() As Boolean

Remarks:

The Empty property returns a True or False value associated with presence of data in the system Clipboard. Unlike the Valid property, which verifies the presence of a specific type or data (such as text or graphics), the Empty property looks for the presence of any data in the system Clipboard.

Examples:

The following VBA example checks whether there is any data in the Clipboard. If there is data present, it is pasted in the active layer. If there is no data in the system Clipboard, a message displays in a message box.

Sub ClipboardEmpty()
If Not Clipboard.Empty Then
  ActiveLayer.Paste
Else
  MsgBox "There is no data in the Clipboard."
End If 
End Sub
